Miss me with the bullshit. Biden commutes a federal intern from DEATH to LIFE and the far right is bitching. The very same folks who defended the Jan. 6 thugs who tried to overthrow democracy. |
The Republicans and far right agitators are outraged over President Joe Biden pardoning his son Robert Hunter Biden and commuting federal interns from DEATH to LIFE.
Biden doesn't give two fucks anymore.
Council was arrested several days later at a Greenville, North Carolina, motel. He had bought a used Mercedes with the robbery money, according to his confession.
So the latest boogeyman for the far right to exploit is a Black intern who had his sentence from DEATH commuted to LIFE.
These motherfuckers can't understand that these federal interns will spend the rest of their lives in federal time out. They are not getting out of the federal time out, ever.
The endless hypocrisy and utter lack of empathy.
They have no problem with Gov. Mike Parson of Missouri commuting the sentences of corrupt police officers and white vigilantes. Oh, he is a Republican.
They have no problem with Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas pardoning and commuting the sentence of Daniel Perry, a racist who killed a Black Lives Matter activist. Oh, he's a Republican too.
They have no problem with Kyle Rittenhouse who killed two men and seriously injured one.
They have no problem with Daniel Penny who strangled a man on New York City subway.
President-elect Donald J. Trump promised that he will pardon and commute the sentences of these motherfucking Jan. 6 insurrectionists who tried to violently disrupt the Joint Session of Congress doing the electoral college count. The very same assholes screaming at Biden are running cover for a fucking felon and his minions of seditious thugs.
Sean "Softball" Hannity, the country's most annoying and fucking old ass agitator used crispy ass Leo Terrell as a source.

Terrell, a former civil rights attorney who crossed over into MAGAland is often vilifying Black people who support the Democratic Party. Let a Black man or woman become a voice of Black people and the Democratic Party. Expect folks like Terrell and Candace Owens to nitpick every fucking thing he or she does.
He is currently interned in Terre Haute maximum security federal time out for murder and bank robbery.
Council killed two South Carolina bank employees while taking $15,000 during a robbery was sentenced to die by a federal jury. Council’s federal death sentence was among 37 commuted by Biden early Monday. He will now serve life in federal prison without the possibility of parole.
Council was sentenced to death by a jury for the deaths of Donna Major and Katie Skeen during a 2017 robbery at CresCom Bank.
The same jurors found Council guilty last month of armed bank robbery resulting in death, among other charges for killing the manager and a teller at CresCom Bank in Conway in August 2017.
The jury’s other option was life in prison without parole. They deliberated less than six hours over two days, news outlets reported.
Prosecutors pushed for the death penalty, saying Council deserved to die because he chose to murder everyone in the bank while seeking easy money, pulling a gun out instead of the robbery note he had in his pocket.
“He did not have to kill anyone,” prosecutor Nathan Williams said. “He killed everyone.”
Council’s lawyers detailed his troubled childhood, raised by his grandmother who died just as he became a teenager. They also emphasized Council’s remorse for his crime and how he cooperated with investigators after his arrest at a motel near his Wilson, North Carolina, home several days after the fatal robbery.
They reminded the jury Council would never leave prison whether he was executed or served out his life sentence.
“Does he die from lethal injection?” defense lawyer Duane Bryant said. “Or does he die when someone calls for him?”
The jurors were presented evidence over two weeks, including surveillance video of Council walking into the bank on Aug. 21, 2017 — the same day a full solar eclipse was seen in other parts of South Carolina and elsewhere.
Council stood by teller Major for nearly a minute before pulling out a gun and shooting her first in the arm and then in the chest as the stunned teller held papers in front of her face trying to protect herself.
Manager Skeen ran into her office and hid under her desk. Council shot her in the forehead, according to the video and testimony.
Council took $15,000 from the bank, including special bills that trigger a call to police if removed, authorities said. He then went back into Skeen’s office and took the keys to her SUV to escape.
The families of Donna Major and Katie Skeen are furious. Biden commuted several interns from DEATH to LIFE. |
Council was arrested several days later at a Greenville, North Carolina, motel. He had bought a used Mercedes with the robbery money, according to his confession.
Council asked investigators if the women were still alive and cried when he found out they were dead.
“I’m a doofus. I’m an idiot,” Council told police. “I don’t deserve to live.”
However, on Friday, Council filed a motion in federal court for compassionate release which means he would be released early from prison due to “extraordinary or compelling circumstances.”
In the documents filed, Council provided documents and position papers that state why Terre Haute, where he was housed, is one of the worst prisons in the world in 2022.
During his time incarcerated at Terre Haute, Council was held in solitary confinement, which on multiple occasions he requested to be removed from.
“My administrative detention classification is keeping me housed in solitary confinement permanently, which is psychologically harmful and torture which violates the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel [Inhumane] or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which is a ratified United States treaty,” Council wrote in his request for administrative remedy in 2023.
This request was denied.
Council began his solitary confinement in 2019 and each request written to be removed was denied.
The latest motion for compassionate release was filed Friday.
